Clojure Compilation: Parenthetical Prose to Bewildering Bytecode
How does Clojure compilation work? What black magic is needed to transform elegant parenthetical prose into binary instructions executed by a processor?Let's start with a simple question. Is Clojure...

Clojure Compilation: Full Disclojure
Or What Does It Mean to Be Dynamic (and What Are the Costs)?The previous post looked at how a Hello World Clojure app is compiled. We saw how a Java source file compiles to a single Java class file...

The (Clojure) "JVM Slow Startup Time" Myth
By far the largest subset of performance-related complaints were about JVM startup time. Phil Hagelberg has also reported that this is one of, perhaps the highest, complaint of leiningen users as well....

Why is Clojure bootstrapping so slow?
In my tests Clojure programs take 35x and 6x as long to boot on the desktop and Android when compared to their Java counterparts. Why? Where does all of the time go?Here is the execution time for basic...

Solving Clojure Boot Time
Clojure programs start slowly because they load the clojure.core namespace before doing anything useful. Loading the clojure.core namespace loads the Java class files for all of the functions in...
